First, determine the number of 3-meter sections in the fence: \(120 \text{ meters} \div 3 \text{ meters/section} = 40\) sections. For a straight fence with posts at both ends, the number of posts is one more than the number of sections. So, the farmer needs \(40 + 1 = 41\) posts. Finally, calculate the total cost of the posts: \(41 \text{ posts} \times \$7/\text{post} = \$287\).

First, find the total number of people going on the trip: \(130 + 12 = 142\) people. Next, determine the minimum number of buses needed by dividing the total people by the bus capacity: \(142 \div 48 = 2\) with a remainder of 46. Since there is a remainder, 3 buses are needed. Then, calculate the total number of seats on 3 buses: \(3 \times 48 = 144\) seats. Finally, subtract the number of people from the total number of seats to find the number of empty seats: \(144 - 142 = 2\).

First, find the total score Jordan needs across all five tests to have an average of 92. This is \(5 \times 92 = 460\). Next, find the sum of his scores on the first four tests: \(88 + 95 + 86 + 94 = 363\). Finally, subtract the sum of the first four scores from the target total score to find the required score on the fifth test: \(460 - 363 = 97\).

First, calculate the total amount of money donated by the people: \(120 \text{ people} \times \$25/\text{person} = \$3,000\). The company matches the amount donated above $2,000. To find this amount, subtract the threshold from the total donations: \(\$3,000 - $2,000 = $1,000\). The company will donate this matched amount, which is $1,000.

This question tests ISEE Middle Level quantitative reasoning skills, specifically solving multi-step word problems using the four operations. Multi-step problems require students to apply the correct sequence of operations to reach a logical solution, often requiring addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In this problem, students must scale a recipe from 6 to 15 servings, executing calculations in the correct order. The correct answer is achieved by finding the scaling factor (15 ÷ 6 = 2.5), then multiplying each ingredient: rice (1.50 × 2.5 = 3.75 cups) and broth (3.00 × 2.5 = 7.50 cups). A common distractor might involve using an incorrect scaling factor or only scaling one ingredient. To help students: Teach them to always find the ratio of new servings to original servings first, then apply this factor consistently to all ingredients.

First, find how many candies Amy gets: \(96 \times \frac{1}{4} = 24\) candies. Next, find the number of remaining candies: \(96 - 24 = 72\) candies. Then, find how many candies Beth gets from the remainder: \(72 \times \frac{1}{3} = 24\) candies. Carla gets the rest, which is \(72 - 24 = 48\) candies. Finally, find the difference between Carla's and Amy's shares: \(48 - 24 = 24\) candies.

First, calculate the earnings for the first 40 hours: \(40 \text{ hours} \times \$15/\text{hour} = \$600\). Next, determine the number of overtime hours: \(46 - 40 = 6\) hours. Then, calculate the overtime rate: \($15 \times 1.5 = $22.50\) per hour. Calculate the overtime earnings: \(6 \text{ hours} \times \$22.50/\text{hour} = \$135\). Finally, add the regular earnings and overtime earnings: \($600 + $135 = \$735.00\).

First, calculate the total amount of sugar needed for 3 batches. This is \(3 \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{4}\) cups. Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number: \(\frac{9}{4} = 2 \frac{1}{4}\) cups. Then, subtract the amount of sugar used from the initial amount: \(4 - 2 \frac{1}{4} = 1 \frac{3}{4}\) cups.

First, calculate the total revenue from selling brownies: \(60 \times $1.50 = $90\). Next, calculate the total revenue from selling cookies: \(80 \times $0.75 = $60\). Then, find the total revenue: \($90 + $60 = \$150\). Finally, calculate the profit by subtracting the cost of ingredients from the total revenue: \(Profit = Revenue - Cost = \$150 - $45 = $105\).

This problem is best solved by working backward. Maya has $40 left after giving half of her money to her brother. So, before giving him money, she had \(\$40 \times 2 = \$80\). Before that, she spent $35 on a shirt. To find the amount she had before the purchase, add that amount back: \($80 + $35 = \$115\). This was the amount she originally withdrew.
